The Sheridan High School cross country teams are off and running. The program returns a ton of talent from last fall, and expect to contend for high finishes in the 4-A.

Last fall, a promising season ended with a disappointing finish by not qualifying for the State Tournament, and that has provided the motivation for the Lady Broncs to take the next step this fall.

Kyle Warnke was proud that the players played 20 innings without any rest.

The crowds were great for the tournament. Tournament Director Dan Bilyue was pleased with the entire week, and says the Sheridan community can be proud of the way the Troopers conducted themselves in the tournament.

The Sheridan Troopers were 0-6 on the season in games against Gillette last night. The two met in the State Tournament winner’s bracket. Gillette brought out the heavy lumber, and built an early 6-0 lead, and then went onto win the game 11-1, sending the Troops to the loser’s bracket. Gillette short-stop Zach Hamilton hit a 3-run homer for Gillette in the first inning, and added a solo shot in the third. Then first basemen Drew Baier took over, hitting a 2-run homer and a solo shot of his own. The Roughriders led 6-0 after three innings, and the Trooper bats just couldn’t answer. Coach Kyle Warnke says Gillette got off so quick at the plate. That quick start made it tough on the Troops to mount any kind of a comeback. The Troopers will now play Laramie this afternoon at 1 o’clock in an elimination game.
